6 Introduction Welcome to the major in Family, Youth and Community Sciences at the University of Florida! This handbook is designed to help you as you enter and progress through the major. The handbook provides information on curriculum requirements, student advising and graduation requirements. This information will help you plan your program of study. Overview of FYCS Major The Family, Youth and Community Sciences (FYCS) major is an applied social sciences degree that provides the general academic and technical education for careers in human services, community development, and child and youth professions. The settings for future employment include public, private, nonprofit, and for-profit organizations. The FYCS major prepares students to address the complex issues facing children, youth, families, and communities in the 21st century. Students gain in-depth knowledge of: individual and family development and functioning in the community and society; contemporary issues facing youth, families, and communities; and policies and programs designed to meet needs and to alleviate problems and concerns. Students also acquire critical skills to assist children, youth, families, and communities in meeting their needs, including: interpersonal communication; leadership; program planning, management, and administration; social policy; applied research and evaluation; and community-based education. This major is administered by the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and leads to a Bachelor of Science Degree. Some students ask why the FYCS program is located in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS). First, it is beneficial to point out that it is the College of Agricultural and LIFE Sciences. Second, it is usually helpful to understand that IFAS, the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, plays a pivotal role in fulfilling the University s land grant mission. As indicated in the Catalog, Florida is one of a number of U.S. Universities whose mandate includes a commitment to the development and transmission of practical knowledge. The College of Agricultural and Life Sciences in particular has been federally mandated since 1862 to deliver the practical benefits of university knowledge for the public good. Although the names, IFAS and Agriculture, usually call to mind images of farms and farming, these units of the University are deeply immersed in the study of broader social issues. A cadre of social scientists in various departments are trained in sociology, psychology, human development, economics, anthropology, and education. Their scholarship illuminates complex human and societal problems and issues, such as poverty, stress, and community disorganization. Their applied research provides information 1

7 about ways to alleviate these concerns through educational and outreach programs, human services, and community development. The College of Agricultural and Life Sciences is regionally, nationally, and internationally recognized for preparing top-notch graduates. FYCS graduates are in demand by employers and are accepted readily into graduate programs and professional schools. For more information about FYCS please read the rest of this handbook and visit the department website at: FYCS List-Serve All FYCS students are entered into the FYCS List Serve. This list serve is used for department announcements, job and internship announcements and other important notices. Remember to check your UFL account for important s posted to the list serve. Students will be added to the list serve within two weeks of being admitted to the major. If you do not receive s from the list serve, please contact Kathryn Ivey at or Academic Advising Every student in the FYCS major will be assigned an academic advisor. You should consult with your assigned advisor prior to every registration term. Your advisor will be able to help you with things such as dropping a class, financial aid petitions, selecting a practicum site, etc. Every advisor has advising times set up during the week and may or may not have walk in advising times available. You should always try to set up an appointment for advising. If you are not able to make your advising appointment, please call and cancel. Your assigned advisor will be listed on your degree audit or you can stop by the advising office to determine who your assigned advisor is. 2

8 Jobs There are a variety of jobs that graduates of FYCS can apply for including but not limited to: child protection services domestic violence specialist youth workers health education administration of non-profits adoption and foster care Extension and 4-H Listed below are some quotes from graduates of our program and what they said about how a degree in FYCS helped them in the real world. Jill Janok Graduation FYCS: 2009 Current job: State of Florida Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor "Earning a degree in FYCS has helped me in every aspect of my career in Social Services. This degree program allowed me to gain valuable knowledge in Family and Community issues. Through my internships and education at the University of Florida, I obtained hands on experience, knowledge of various community resources and networking skills allowing me to successfully find a job upon graduation. I am currently working as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor, where I assist individuals with physical, mental and emotional disabilities find gainful employment. I am also currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Social Work with a concentration in Children. In my future, I plan on becoming a Child Therapist and or Forensic Interviewer, as working with children is a passion of mine. I truly enjoyed this program and recommend it to anyone interested in Social Services. GO GATORS!!" Melissa H. Kessler Graduation from FYCS: 2003 Current Job: Girls and Boys Town Family Preservation Services "The FYCS courses went a long way to preparing me for my job. The practicum component gave me the reassurance that I was in the right field and couldn't wait to get into my career. When I graduated, I was able to get a position with the organization without experience while others were turned down. The practicum helped me get my foot in the door." 3

9 Rachel Moscato Graduation FYCS: August 2010 Current Job: Research & Evaluation Specialist Special Olympics International The skills I acquired as an FYCS student, both in the classroom and through leadership opportunities, have helped me develop academically, professionally and personally. I am currently working with Special Olympics International in Washington, DC as the Research and Evaluation Specialist. I am managing the Special Olympics Health Professions Student Grants program, which offers undergraduate and graduate students funding to pursue research related to intellectual disabilities. I am also part of a team that works with data related to the healthcare of Special Olympics athletes. The work we are doing plays an important role in further understanding the healthcare needs of people with intellectual disabilities and is opening doors for new initiatives that promote greater access to quality healthcare for an underserved population. The time I spent as a Family, Youth and Community Sciences student provided me with experiences and opportunities that stretched far beyond the classroom, and I am excited to utilize all the knowledge and skills that the FYCS program has provided. Katie Cholewa Current Job: St. David s Episcopal Church Graduation FYCS: Spring 2004 Director of Youth Ministry Two months after graduation I received a job as a youth minister at a large church in the Atlanta area. The church had interviewed people from all over the country and ultimately decided that I was the best person for the job because of the experiences I had during my practicum internship, which is a significant part of the FYCS program. The summer I spent as a youth ministry intern gave me the foundation I am now using to remodel the youth program into a comprehensive ministry for a church with over 250 kids between the ages of 10 and 18. I know I have my work cut out for me, but I am confident that my experiences as an FYCS student will play a significant role in my success. 4
